Gamers with auditory disabilities should definitely check out Tekken Tag Tournament 2 because the game includes nothing that would hinder such players from fully enjoying this game. And this is still an effective and fun way to play Tekken, especially given the game’s penchant for hyper-responsive controls. You’ll just hop on the ladder and mash buttons until you figure out different characters. If you’re like me, though, you won’t need a tutorial. It is also a shame that players with fine-motor disabilities might miss out on the fight lab portion of the game, since this portion not only functions as a thorough tutorial on how to use the controls effectively, but also as a sort of creature-your-own-character experience. As a result, when reviewing the game, I had to use my fight stick to progress through even the first chapter of the game’s fight lab mode, because it required specific movements, such as side stepping, which, when done on the D-pad, required a high amount of accuracy.īut because these kinds of quick movements on the D-pad are only required when in fight lab mode, playing the standard arcade matches should be a little bit easier, though movement will still be a challenge, especially on the PS3, where the D-pad is broken into four distinct buttons. What is worse, there is no way to change this. However, even with this feature, the average player with a fine-motor disability will still struggle because the player’s movement is dictated by the D-pad, not by the more accessible joysticks. This means that even if a player’s fingers cannot input multiple buttons at once, they can still perform punishing tag throws and lightning fast reversals. This game should have been one of the most accessible fighters on the market for this group, because it not only includes dozens of characters with different strengths and weaknesses that will fit any play style, but also includes fully-remappable controls that even allow players to assign advanced combos to single buttons. I am speaking of gamers with fine-motor disabilities. However, because of one glaring flaw, some disabled gamers may never have the opportunity to enjoy Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

However, the newest blockbuster fighting game, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, could have been the first fighting game on the market to be thoroughly accessible to all players with disabilities. In general, the arcade style fighter is a sub-genre plagued by inaccessibility.
